I have a 79 CJ5 but the frame is a mess im wondering if i can swap. take the 79 drive train and put in into.a 89 wrangler...i have the frame and body of the 89 wrangle just dont know if i can make it work...any help is appreciated its our first jeep
 
Alot of things are not the same like the cj has narrow trac axles and the wrangler is wide trac, the front pumkin on the wrangler is on the left side when the Cjs is on the right. People swap out their CJ7 tubs for the Wranglers all the time but the running gear is way different but I'm sure it's possable if you have some fab skills and tools. Sounds fun to me. When you are done it's going to look like a CJ7 not a 5.
